Have to fly to my parents place next month, ill be around 5 months then. Bit nervous about flying in this condition. Anyone travelled by flight while pregnant, how was it?
I am currently in my 5th month and thinking of taking a flight next week! My doctor gave me a fit-to-fly certificate, but I'm still a bit nervous. Are you planning to travel in your second trimester too?
If your doctor says yes, it is safe, but honestly, morning sickness made it so hard for me to even sit in a car. If you suffer from nausea, traveling might be very uncomfortable. Keep some sickness bags and ginger candies handy if you do go.
Please ask your doctor first, dear. If they say it is okay, then only go. Take a window seat so you can rest comfortably, and don't carry any heavy bags yourself.
Generally, the second trimester is the safest time to fly. Just make sure to get a clearance certificate from your gynac, drink lots of water, and keep walking in the aisle every hour. It's totally manageable.
Beta, if it is not urgent, try to avoid traveling during the first and last months. If you must fly, keep some warm water or saunf with you to settle your stomach. Take your doctor's permission first.
